There are no good billionaires. Nobody can possible "earn" a billion dollars in one life time, that's impossible. If you're a billionaire, you are one because you stole wealth from those people below you, by paying them improperly, or screwing them. If Taylor is a billionaire it means she hasn't paid her people enough, and that she's charging too much for her work.
Provide one proof that she doesn't pay her people enough. Also, people can choose to give her money if they like. It's not like she's a monopoly making a lifesaving medicine and people have no choice but to give her money.
I know she doesn't pay them enough because she has enough leftover to be a billionaire
That's not a proof. She is not a company that has to pay their employees miserably to make profits. She makes music and has fans that willingly give her money through concerts, merch, etc. In contrast, here is an article about how she gave huge bonuses to her tour truck drivers.
